Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition - Small question with licensing...

Hey guys, I have one question. My friend and I were talking about VB 2005 Express at school, and our Computing Studies teacher overheard lol

We use VB 6 at school, but I downloaded VB 2005 Express, burned it and gave a copy to my friend.

So anyway, he asked me to find out about the licensing:

Can you install and use it on multiple computers as a learning resource.

In other words, can the school use it legally with no issues lol

Yeah, well all we use it for is simple applications at school so it'd be for nothing advanced. I have done all that stuff before..... SO easy!

Thanks guys ;)

    It seems to be a good thing for a school to use in education, especially over VB6.

    "Lightweight, easy-to-use, and easy-to-learn tools for the hobbyist, novice, and student developer."

    You are free to install and register multiple times. It is also free for commercial use.

    It would probably be better to use the downloadable cd image to install from. Registration is not required for that version.

    Sorry, didn't pay attention to details.

    It is really a good thing if you learn VB.NET instead of VB6.

    Good luck with your class!
